I had to do a recovery on my windows xp media center computer. I was able to get the updates thru the microsoft catalog. Before I even did that my pc starting shutting down and restarting again n again. This pc has never had this problem I don't quite know how to fix. Can someone direct me in the right direction? This is my daughters computer and she don't know yet whats happening?

Hello and welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums.

Is there is a specific programme running when this happens or is it when you start the system up? If it's a programme, which one?

If it's at startup, restart the computer and tap the Function 8 key several times, as it powers up, you will see the Advanced Boot menu. Select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and when the startup falls over, you should see a blue screen with a Stop Error message. Post back here with the basic details from there - the numeric 0x0000?? and ANY_WORDS_JOINED_UP_BY underscores. and someone will be able to help

The whole thing started when I lost vista files that we couldn't find anywhere. So my dad decided to wipe the pc clean and install windows 7 home premium. I say it ran ok for about a week then I started seeing bsof for instance I got a error that said page_fault_in_non_paged area. Another thing is I only have a D: and I highly doubt my dad re partioned the area where your windows files go which should say local disk (C:) contains windows files and the D: drive I thought was used for recovery.
